v2.1.573
Work in progress -- Console.robe -- robe file converted from Win' mp3
player called Soritong. Not finished, but can do most of things.
Added group mode for gui elements. (all gui elements are placed in
groups. Root group (0) is always displayed. Other groups are mutualy
exclusive, and displayed on demand).
Changed plugin handling code, should work better (?)
Fixed sound clicking on song start/stop . I hope !
Slider gadget has changed, now uses my own BOOPSI class. It doesn't
anymore have that stupid background grid. now background can be anything
I like. Also a so called 'knob' doesn't have to be fixed size.
Fixed potential problems in idcmp message handling code.
Fixed problems with kickstart 3.0. System was badly trashed under 3.0.
(thanks to Thomas Rode <rode@adr.dk> for reporting that bug)
Added Silence-Loopback Audio driver. Should be usefull for cdda grabbing,
and mp3->aiff conversion.
v2.1.483
RTG bug fixed ! (thanks to Mathieu Burgerhout <mburgerhout@quicknet.nl>
for reporting it.
CDDA plugin boost function fixed.
removed some dead code that were lying around
Added Dopus5 advanced icon support !! TRY IT ! When used with DOpus5,
Prayer2 will use some additional features to make little popup-menu
for its ICON, with usefull functions.
Added AIFF EXPORT plugin --> REALTIME wave output writing to AIFF file !! :)
(but, please note that only `groovie.robe' has all needed buttons to make
actual `capture'-ing' work for now). In short: Go to Prefs->Plugins, and set
"Output capture plugin" plugin to Plugins/aiffdump.ppl . Next, set 'Save Path'
where you would like to see dumpfiles created.
After that save/use configuration, and return to prayer2. Now, you can test
this only if you selected groovie.robe, since I didn't have a time to fix
other robes now, by opening "Wave Capture Window" (either by clicking with
right-mouse-button on PLAY button, or selecting "Windows->Wave Capture Window"
from popup menu. After that, all you have to do is to press ">|<" button in
that window, and as long as it is selected (it will stay in selected position
until you click on it again), anything that goes on speakers, will be written
in AIFF file. Each time when ">|<" is selected, new filename is created, so
you won't overwrite anything by mistake, but instead you can easly run out of
HD space if you keep that button in selected state too long O;)) There are
some timers in that window, but I suppose they are pretty self-explanary.
v2.1.431
RTM play-mode
Preferences window changed, now we have 4 separate windows: Audio, Visual,
Plugins and Misc.
- User selectable visualization refresh rate added.
- hotkey settings is back.
Experimental, limited 'AMPlifier-style' visualization plugin interface.
You can test some AMPlifier plugins (AMPlifier is just another WinAMP-like
player), but, they won't work entirely as expected.
Lots of audio-handling stuff is rewriten from scratch, that should be faster
than old code.
Removed Workbench AppIcon when not entirely iconified.
Image caching added, so if you open window second time, it will open much
much faster.
Prayer doesn't anymore use BListView BOOPSI Class by Bernardo Innocenti,
I've written my own listview class, isn't that nice ? :)
CDDA plugin is changed. Now takes device/unit settings from CDROM_Device
and CDROM_Unit environment variables. CDDA data decoding is optimized.
And finaly, CD-titles are readed from world-wide compatible "IDxxx" files
in directory specified in CDDA_Titles environment var. (for example, you have
to setenv CDDA_Titles Sys:Utilities/CDPlayer/Disks/ and that is all, but note
the trailing slash. It is important !). CDDA plugin now uses less memory than
in previous release.
Still no sign of AHI. how does people get AHI working in their programs
anyway ? I don't like AHI :>
V2.0.223
AHI still not active :-(
Added RTG mode (force loading images in FAST ram, instead of wasting CHIP
ram -- usefull for gfxcards, and FBlit users)
Changed listview behaviour, to eliminate garbage at bottom of listview
while scrolling.
Fixed bug (hopefully) that caused player to stop playing sometimes after
moving play-position slider.
Fixed bug that caused About window to be displayed without asking for it.
Fixed bug in argument parsing/passing function.
Other small bug fixes.
Fixed TRANSPARENT image mode.
Why people use 640x256 resolution with BIG fonts ? :-(
V2.0
There are some missing gadgets in `Preferences' window I had to remove
just to make sure that window will open even on 640x256 PAL screen with
topaz.font/8. In next version, `Preferences' window will be divided in to
several smaller windows, just to be sure that they will open on every
screen.
Plugins are ALPHA quality, do not take them for serious too much :-) !
Expect much more complete plugins for next release:
a) They can't downsample audio output (for example, you can play CDDA on
44.1k/stereo only)
b) CDDA.ppl is using too much memory for buffers :-(
c) WAVE.ppl can't read BIG-ENDIAN files (RIFX)
d) ADPCM.ppl can't set current position (that is limitation of ADPCM file
format)
e) DT.ppl can play only 8bit/mono (that seems to be sound.datatype limitation)
Bye.
